    Thanks for the info. This is probably the most concise presentation of comparing replicas vs. authentic pieces that I've seen. I bought my Submariner 116610LN from a jeweler from the LA jewelry district 7 years ago. It came with box but no papers so that raised a red flag for me. Had the watch weighed, inspected the dial, fonts, etc. And lastly, I did have the caseback removed to inspect the movement just for piece of mind. I continue to enjoy the watch to this day. Buyer beware, especially in the secondary market. Thanks again for this invaluable information.

    once in the mid 2000s while waiting for the bus in downtown san diego I was offered to inspect a "ROLEX" and the guy was only asking for $60.00. Politely declined and said I only had two dollars for bus fare. I believe he was hustling to get my wallet out because he walked away and a few minutes later his accomplice a few yards away walked with him. Pretending and dressing poor saved me from a mugging.

    I have real and fakes. The high quality fakes I wear casually & don't mind if they get banged up, lost, or stolen. I wear the real ones on relatively special occasions. Real or fake, if anyone asks, I tell them "It's fake". One friend knew the difference and asked why I would claim my real 2011 submariner was fake. It's simply part of my "remain unseen/unnoticed" and "live far below my means" strategic program...

    The jewels don't have anything to do with magnetism to my knowledge.

    Here's the bottom line: Fakes are SO good that you need a loupe to see the flaws. That means that NO-body will be able to tell if ;you are wearing a fake or genuine Rolex, if you've purchased a high end fake. The only real "tell" on a fake watch is the person wearing the watch. If they have a job that pays less than $100k per year, they are most likely wearing a fake.

    Im 22, don’t have a Rolex salary, but I own a gen 5 digit bluesy that my dad gave me my junior year in high school because he never wore it & noticed I was gaining interest in watches, and Rolex in particular. I used to wear it to school (stupid), and looking back on it, its hard to understand how anybody believed that a 140lb 17yr old with no job had a real one. However… at the time, the only reason that I wore it to school, is because I thought a rolex was worth like $3k max… and I figured, my dads was really beat up, so it must be worth close to nothing, and thats how all of my peers saw it too. Now in hindsight, I understand that is not the case & take much better care of the watch. But point is, I don’t think the average person knows how much a Rolex is actually worth, and sometimes people can inherit them, and you’d never know.

    I know you’re a dealer and over analyzing it, but the machining inside of the case is not even close; there’s a difference between machining and laser, etching, and how the serial number is machined inside the case . Plus you just have to open the Watch. Not to mention a watch of this make and style should have its warranty card being this new. The European dealers won’t buy any of these newer model watches without box and papers.
